{"product_id":"health-communication-language-and-social-carla-fisher-9781433197550","title":"Health Communication, Language, and Social Action across the Life Span","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe language utilized within health communication encounters has a direct influence on our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. In many ways, the difficulties associated with efficient, effective, and competent communication within the health care context can be the major determinant of successful health outcomes. Further, while many of the interactional contexts within health are intergenerational, communication encounters are challenged by ageism and a lack of appropriate intergenerational communication skills. While it may seem obvious that the nature of human interaction is constantly changing as individuals develop throughout their lives, few theoretical or empirical investigators within the general disciplines of Communication, Language, and Social Psychology ground their research within a life span developmental perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book addresses communication events within health care institutions from a theory-rich, methodologically varied, and social action\/positive communication orientation. Chapters in this book examine interpersonal relationships, the social environment, and culture to develop beneficial communication practices for healthcare professionals, individuals, families, and communities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carla Fisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1433197553\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781433197550\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Peter Lang Inc., International Academic Publi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/16\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 348\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.09lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.77d","brand":"Carla Fisher","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48444834808063,"sku":"9781433197550","price":47.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_11491802-d7cf-4cb5-8c5f-84c0bba62ae6.jpg?v=1777214873","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/health-communication-language-and-social-carla-fisher-9781433197550","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
